| Summary | "Kinston, Whitehall and Goldsboro (North Carolina) expedition, December, 1862" is a historical account authored by an unnamed correspondent and published in the late 19th century. This book chronicles the military expedition undertaken during the American Civil War, focusing on battles that occurred in Kinston, Whitehall, and Goldsboro, North Carolina. It likely aims to document the strategic movements, battles, and the experiences of the soldiers involved in this military campaign. The text details the events of the expedition, starting with Major General John G. Foster's army movement from New Berne and progressing through key battles in Kinston, Whitehall, and Goldsboro. The narrative includes firsthand accounts of skirmishes, tactical maneuvers, and the bravery displayed by both Union and Confederate forces. Among the significant elements are the high stakes of capturing critical railroad junctions, resulting in fierce battles and substantial casualties on both sides.
